Radio 64, side B, track 1: “Release Me” by Wilson Phillips

Oh, Wilson Phillips, yes, yes, YES!!!! How can you sound so amazing?!?!?! God, I love you so much, Wilson Phillips. So. Much. Also, I’ve taken a peek at the upcoming songs on this particular tape, and side B of Radio 64 has some sweet-ass music. Not that there hasn’t already been tons and tons of great music already, but my radio taping hit a particularly lucrative vein of music gold in July of 1990. I might have hated summers because of being 14 with no car and no social life, but the one bright spot is that songs like this were playing all summer long.
